Quick Start
Get Remi monitoring Claude Code in 5 minutes.
Prerequisites
- Claude Code CLI installed and working
Step 1: Install Remi
Homebrew (macOS/Linux):
brew install yooz-labs/tap/remi
npm:
npm install -g @yooz-labs/remi
From source (requires Bun):
git clone https://github.com/yooz-labs/remi.git
cd remi
bun install && bun run build && bun link
Verify it works:
remi --version
Step 2: Generate Your Identity
Remi uses Ed25519 keys for authentication. Generate your server identity:
remi keygen
By default, this creates an unencrypted identity for zero-friction startup. To encrypt with a passphrase, use remi keygen --passphrase.
Step 3: Start Remi
Run Remi from any project directory. All arguments after remi are passed through to Claude Code:
remi my-project
Claude Code starts normally in your terminal. Remi runs silently in the background, logging to ~/.remi/remi.log.
To see your connection code for remote access:
remi code
Step 4: Connect From Your Browser
Same Network (Direct)
If your browser is on the same machine, open the Remi web app and enter:
ws://localhost:18765/ws
To connect from another device on the same network, use your machine's IP (Remi binds to all interfaces by default):
ws://192.168.1.100:18765/ws
Different Network (Relay Code)
Run remi code to see your connection code, then enter it in the Remi web app (e.g., AXBY-1234). The signaling server bridges the connection automatically.
Step 5: Respond to Questions
When Claude asks a question (like a tool permission prompt), you will see it on your phone or browser. Tap Yes or No, or type a custom response.
